Jason Schraub is the VP of Partnerships and the Chief of Staff to the President of Operation HOPE. Jason appeared on our Podcast last year and you can hear his insight into the work that Operation HOPE does on that Episode.
This year, Jason is responding to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic and sits down with our host Roy Kessel on S2:EP14 of the Sports Philanthropy Podcast to take a closer look at how Operation HOPE is rallying support and responding to the crisis.
The needs are immense as Operation HOPE has 152 physical locations spread across 23 states. Their financial literacy training is critical to get these communities back up and running as quickly as possible.
Please listen to this special episode and see if you can Operation HOPE provide the emergency support that is needed.
